< Genesis 49 >

1 And Jacob calls to his sons and says, “Be gathered together, and I declare to you that which happens with you in the latter end of the days.
तब याकूबले आफ्‍ना छोराहरूलाई बोलाएर भनेः “तिमीहरू यहाँ जम्‍मा होओ, ताकि भविष्यमा तिमीहरूमाथि के आइपर्नेछ सो म तिमीहरूलाई भनूँ ।
2 Be assembled, and hear, sons of Jacob, And listen to your father Israel.
हे याकूबका छोरा हो, जम्‍मा भएर सुन, तिमीहरूका बुबा इस्राएलका कुरा सुन ।
3 Reuben! You [are] my firstborn, My power, and beginning of my strength, The abundance of exaltation, And the abundance of strength;
रूबेन, तँ मेरो जेठो छोरो होस्, मेरो शक्ति र मेरो बलको सुरु, गौरव र शक्तिमा उत्कृष्‍ट ।
4 Unstable as water, you are not abundant; For you have gone up your father’s bed; Then you have defiled [it]: He went up my couch!
बग्‍ने पानीजस्‍तो चञ्‍चल, तेरो प्रतिष्‍ठा रहनेछैन, किनभने तँ तेरा बुबाको ओछ्यानमा चढिस् । अनि त्यसलाई अशुद्ध पारिस्‌; तँ मेरो पलङ्गमा चढ़िस्‌ ।
5 Simeon and Levi [are] brothers! Instruments of violence—their espousals!
शिमियोन र लेवी दाजुभाइ हुन् । हिंसाका हतियार नै तिनीहरूका तरवार हुन् ।
6 Into their secret, do not come, O my soul! Do not be united to their assembly, O my glory; For in their anger they slew a man, And in their self-will eradicated a prince.
ए मेरो प्राण, तिनीहरूको सभामा नआइज, तिनीहरूको बैठकमा नबस् किनकि मेरो हृदयमा त्यसको निम्ति अत्यन्तै श्रद्धा छ । किनकि तिनीहरूलेआफ्‍नो रिसमा मानिसहरूलाई मारे । तिनीहरूले आफ्नो आनन्दको निम्ति गोरुहरूका ढोडनसा काटेका छन्‌ ।
7 Cursed [is] their anger, for [it is] fierce, And their wrath, for [it is] sharp; I divide them in Jacob, And I scatter them in Israel.
तिनीहरूको रिस श्रापित् होस्, किनभने त्‍यो भयानक छ, र तिनीहरूको क्रोध पनि श्रापित् होस् किनकि त्‍यो निष्‍ठुर छ । तिनीहरूलाई म याकूबमा विभाजन गर्नेछु, इस्राएलमा तितरबितर पार्नेछु ।
8 Judah! Your brothers praise you! Your hand [is] on the neck of your enemies, Sons of your father bow themselves to you.
ए यहूदा, तेरा दाजुभाइहरूले तेरो प्रशंसा गर्नेछन् । तेरा हात तेरा शत्रुहरूका गर्दनमा हुनेछन् । तेरा बुबाका छोराहरू तेरो सामुन्‍ने निहुरिनेछन्‌ ।
9 A lion’s whelp [is] Judah, For prey, my son, you have gone up; He has bent, he has crouched as a lion, And as a lioness; who causes him to arise?
यहूदा सिंहको डमरु हो । ए मेरो छोरो, तँ तेरो शिकारभन्दा उच्‍च भएको छस् । त्यो निहुरियो, सिंह र सिंहनीझैँ झुक्यो । कसले त्‍यसलाई उठाउने आँट गर्छ?
10 The scepter does not turn aside from Judah, And a lawgiver from between his feet, Until his Seed comes; And His [is] the obedience of peoples.
यहूदाको हातबाट राजदण्‍ड हट्‌नेछैन, न त राज्‍य चलाउनेको लाठी त्‍यसका खुट्टाका बिचबाट हट्‌नेछ, जबसम्‍म त्‍यसका मालिक आउँदैनन्‌ । जातिहरूले उहाँको आज्ञा मान्‍नेछन् ।
11 Binding to the vine his donkey, And to the choice vine the colt of his donkey, He has washed in wine his clothing, And in the blood of grapes his covering;
त्‍यसको गधालाई दाखको बोटमा, र गधाको बछेड़ोलाई चाहिँ उत्तम जातको हाँगामा बाँधेर त्‍यसले आफ्‍ना लुगाहरू दाखमद्यमा, आफ्‍ना पोशाक अङ्‌गुरको रसमा धुनेछ ।
12 Red [are] eyes with wine, And white [are] teeth with milk!
त्‍यसका आँखा दाखमद्यजस्तै गाढा, र त्‍यसका दाँत दुधजस्ता सेता हुनेछन्‌ ।
13 Zebulun dwells at a haven of the seas, And he [is] for a haven of ships; And his side [is] to Sidon.
जबूलून समुद्रको किनारमा बस्‍नेछ । जहाजहरूका निम्‍ति त्‍यो बन्‍दरगाह हुनेछ, र त्‍यसको सिमाना सीदोनसम्‍म हुनेछ ।
14 Issachar [is] a strong donkey, Crouching between the two folds;
इस्‍साखार दुई भारीहरूका बिचमा लेटिरहने बलियो गधा हो ।
15 And he sees rest, that [it is] good, And the land, that [it is] pleasant, And he inclines his shoulder to bear, And is a servant for tribute.
जसले असल विश्रामको ठाउँ असल र रमाइलो देश देख्छ । त्‍यसले भारी बोक्‍नलाई आफ्‍नो काँध झुकाउनेछ, र काम गर्ने नोकर बन्‍नेछ ।
16 Dan judges his people, As one of the tribes of Israel;
इस्राएलका कुलमध्‍ये एउटा कुल भएर दानले आफ्‍ना मानिसहरूको न्‍याय गर्नेछ ।
17 Dan is a serpent by the way, a viper by the path, Which is biting the horse’s heels, And its rider falls backward.
दान बाटोको छेउमा भएको एउटा सर्प, अर्थात् घोडाको कुर्कुच्‍चा डस्‍ने विषालु सर्प हुनेछ र त्‍यसको घोडचढी पछिल्‍तिर लोट्‌छ ।
18 For Your salvation I have waited, YHWH!
हे परमप्रभु, म तपाईंको उद्धारको प्रतीक्षा गर्छु ।
19 Gad! A troop assaults him, But he assaults last.
गादमाथि आक्रमण गर्नेले त्यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछ, तर त्‍यसले तिनीहरूको कुर्कुच्‍चामा आक्रमण गर्नेछ ।
20 Out of Asher his bread [is] fat; And he gives delicacies of a king.
आशेरको अनाज प्रशस्त हुनेछ, र त्‍यसले राजकीय खाना उपलब्ध गराउनेछ ।
21 Naphtali [is] a doe sent away, Who is giving beautiful young ones.
नप्‍ताली सुन्दर पाठापाठी पाउने फुकाइएकी मुडुली-मृग हो ।
22 Joseph [is] a fruitful son; A fruitful son by a fountain, Daughters step over the wall;
योसेफ एउटा फलवन्त लहरा हो, पानीको मूलनेर भएको फल दिने लहरा, जसका हाँगाहरू पर्खालमाथि फैलिन्‍छन्‌ ।
23 And embitter him indeed, they have striven, Indeed, archers hate him;
धनुर्धारीहरूले त्‍यसलाई आक्रमण गर्नेछन् र त्‍यसमाथि काँड चलाउनेछन्, र त्यसलाई सताउनेछन् ।
24 And his bow abides in strength, And strengthened are the arms of his hands By the hands of the Mighty One of Jacob, From where is a shepherd, a son of Israel.
तापनि त्‍यसको धनु स्थिर रहनेछ, र याकूबका शक्तिशाली परमेश्‍वरका हातको कारण र ती गोठाला अर्थात् इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा त्‍यसका हातहरू सिपालु हुनेछन्, ती गोठाला, इस्राएलको चट्टानद्वारा ।
25 By the God of your father who helps you, And the Mighty One who blesses you, Blessings of the heavens from above, Blessings of the deep lying under, Blessings of breasts and womb—
तेरा बुबाका परमेश्‍वरले तँलाई सहायता गर्नुहुन्‍छ, र सर्वशक्तिमान् परमेश्‍वरले माथि स्‍वर्गका आशिष्‌हरू, तल अगाधका आशिष्‌हरू, अनि स्‍तन र गर्भका आशिष्‌हरूले आशिषित्् तुल्याउनुहुनेछ ।
26 Your father’s blessings have been mighty Above the blessings of my progenitors, To the limit of the perpetual heights They are for the head of Joseph, And for the crown of the one Separate [from] his brothers.
तेरा बुबाका आशीर्वादहरू प्राचीन पहाडहरूका आशीर्वादभन्‍दा महान् छन् वा प्राचीन डाँडाहरूका वाञ्छनीय कुरा हुन्छन् । ती सबै योसेफको शिरमा होऊन्, त्‍यसका दाजुभाइहरूमध्‍येका प्रधानको शिरमा पनि ।
27 Benjamin! A wolf tears; In the morning he eats prey, And at evening he apportions spoil.”
बेन्‍यामीन एउटा भोको ब्‍वाँसो हो । बिहान त्यसले शिकार खान्‍छ, र बेलुकीचाहिँ त्‍यसले लुट बाँड्छ ।
28 All these [are] the twelve tribes of Israel, and this [is] that which their father has spoken to them, and he blesses them; each according to his blessing he has blessed them.
यी इस्राएलका बाह्र कुल हुन्‌ । आफ्‍ना बुबाले तिनीहरूलाई आशीर्वाद दिँदा भनेका कुरा यही हो । प्रत्‍येकलाई तिनले सुहाउँदो आशीर्वाद दिए ।
29 And he commands them and says to them, “I am being gathered to my people; bury me by my fathers, at the cave which [is] in the field of Ephron the Hittite;
तब तिनले तिनीहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिएर यसो भने “म त मेरा मानिसहरूकहाँ मिल्‍न जान लागेको छु । हित्ती एप्रोनको खेतमा भएको ओडारमा मेरा पिता-पुर्खाहरूका साथमा मलाई गाड,
30 in the cave which [is] in the field of Machpelah, which [is] on the front of Mamre, in the land of Canaan, which Abraham bought with the field from Ephron the Hittite for a possession of a burying-place;
अर्थात्‌ कनान देशमा मम्रेनेरको मक्‍पेलाको खेतमा भएको ओडार, जुन अब्राहामले हित्ती एप्रोनको हातबाट खेतसमेत चिहान बनाउनलाई किनेका थिए ।
31 (there they buried Abraham and his wife Sarah; there they buried Isaac and his wife Rebekah; and there I buried Leah);
उनीहरूले अब्राहाम र तिनकी पत्‍नी सारालाई त्यहीँ गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै उनीहरूले इसहाक र तिनकी पत्‍नी रिबेकालाई पनि गाडे । त्‍यहीँ नै मैले लेआलाई गाडेँ ।
32 the purchase of the field and of the cave which [is] in it, [is] from sons of Heth.”
त्‍यो खेत र त्‍यहाँ भएको ओडार हित्तीहरूको हातबाट किनिएको थियो ।”
33 And Jacob finishes commanding his sons, and gathers up his feet to the bed, and expires, and is gathered to his people.
छोराहरूलाई यो आज्ञा दिइसकेपछि याकूबले आफ्‍ना खुट्टा ओछ्यानमा पसारेर आफ्‍नो प्राण त्‍यागे, र आफ्‍ना पिता-पुर्खाहरूसँग मिल्‍न गए ।
